Prominent business media house, Forbes citing credible sources has confirmed that Google will officially announce the new Android L powered HTC Nexus 9 (codenamed Volantis) and Motorola Nexus 6 (codenamed Shamu) via blog post press release.

Initially, the search engine giant wanted to hold a press meet to unveil the new devices, but due to the delay in fine-tuning of Android L OS, the company reportedly decided to keep the launch extravagance to a low profile affair, added the source.

It is said that HTC Nexus 9 will be available in 16GB and 32GB LTE models for $399 (around €315/₹24,500) and $499 (around €394/₹30,500) respectively.

The Taiwanese company has incorporated BoomSound dual speakers on the front side like we see in the flagship HTC One smartphones, but on its design front, it just kept brushed metal (Aluminum) frame around the edges and has used plastic matte finish on the rear-side to keep prices down.

As far as Motorola Nexus 6 is concerned, it is expected to boast mammoth 5.9-inch QHD display and come packed with Android L OS, Snapdragon 805 CPU, 3GB RAM, 13.0-megapixel camera, 2.1-megapixel snapper on the front and a 3,200 mAh battery.
